Extra £74m funding for University for Industry

摘要

The university for Industry, designed to encourage lifelong learning and improve the skills base of the UK workforce, was given a boost last week with the announcement of a new £74m government grant. Last year, the organisation received £44m in government funding. The announcement coincided with the launch of the UfI's website, learndirect. This will allow people access to training courses via the internet. More than 80% of the university's 250 courses will be available online.
